Canadian Pizza Dine-In Cafe @ Jalan Kayu

Canadian Pizza is know for its 2 for 1 pizza delivery at 6241 0241 but little may you know that Canadian Pizza actually has a Dine-In Cafe along the same stretch of road at Jalan Kayu. Opened back in December 2011, the Dine-In cafe offers an extensive menu besides pizzas.

The Dine-In cafe has both a alfresco and air conditioned seating. It is a halal certified restaurant that offers an extensive menu, not just only pizza.

Root Beer Float 4/5

Started the meal with a mug of classic Root Beer Float ($4.50). You can also ask for Pepsi or 7-Up if you do not like Root Beer. For cold beverages, Mocktails, juices and soft drinks are also available.

Smoked Salmon Salad 3.8/5

The plating for the Smoked Salmon Salad ($8.80) may not look elegant but it was good. The used of fresh ingredients such as onion, lettuce, black olive, tomato and bread crumbs was packed with flavours, a healthy but yet flavourful salad to start with.

Tomato and Mushroom Soup 4/5

The Tomato Soup ($4.50) and Mushroom Soup ($4.50) was surprising creamy, tasty and robust. Like my dining partner Melissa commented, the soups were much better than a popular family restaurant in Singapore which I can't agreed more.

Grilled Cajun Fish 4.2/5

The Grilled Cajun Fish ($16.90) came with salad, fries and lime mayonnaise. The grilled fish was extremely flavourful and I won't mind going back for more. As I gathered my thoughts composing the post, I realized the grilled fish was sliced into strips. Visually I think people would expect a whole piece of fish fillet so they don't feel short changed.

Baked Macaroni 3/5

The Baked Macaroni ($9.50) unfortunately was a let down. Though the macaroni was nicely cooked, they were kind of bland.

Fresh Sage Sausage 4.2/5

The Freash Sausage ($13.80) came a bit on the salty side but if paired with the mashed potatoes and sauce, it actually had a good balanced of flavours. It was one of my favourite dish at Canadian Pizza Dine-In Cafe.

Crazy Canadian Stacker 4/5

The Crazy Canadian Stacker ($14.90) came with double patties, grilled bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion rings, cheese and fries. The huge and juicy burger was packed with flavours and it was not going to be easy for one with a small appetite.

Peri Peri Chicken 3.8/5

I was worry that the Peri Peri Chicken ($16) may be too hot for my taste buds but they were quite mild and easily for the palate. The chicken has a nice crisp on the outside while tender inside. Served with fries and salad.

Steak Sandwich 4/5

Stacked with grilled beef, onion rings, lettuce, tomatoes and brown sauce, the Steak Sandwich ($13.90) was worth the penny. The perfectly grilled beef impressed me and well paired with the special brown sauce.

Brownie with Ice Cream 3/5

Bread Pudding 3/5

Apple Crumble 3/5

Besides the extensive mains that are available on the Canadian Pizza Dine In cafe, it also offers some classic desserts for the sweet tooth. We tried the Brownie, Bread Pudding and Apple Crumble. Unfortunately I didn't get to note down the price. The dessert was nothing to shout for but decently good.

In a small way I am quite excited about Canadian Pizza Dine-In Cafe. The mains are value for money and it is currently the only place you get your Canadian Pizza prepared by the chef upon order. What's more, the mains are available for delivery too. At the moment, the cafe is having a Friday night special with $40 spent customer gets a free regular pizza.

Chef Daniel's Kitchen @ Bugis+

The group of us went to support Maureen's participation in the Colgate Slimsoft Finale Party back in June 2012. After the event, we went to Chef Daniel's Kitchen at Bugis+ (old Iluma) to have dinner. We were quite privilege to meet the friendly Chef Daniel himself who came over to have a chat with you us.

When our teas were served, we were all like wondering how to read with the tea pot submerged inside a glass. The picture above hopefully is self-explanatory.

Stewed Lamb Shank with Rose Wine 4.2/5

I have read reviewes about the new menu at Chef Daniel's Kitchen and I remembered that the Stewed Lamb Shank is a must try. I ordered the Stewed Lamb Shank with Rose Wine sauce ($30) and it did not disappoint me. The melted in the mouth lamb shank was beautifully paired with the rose wine sauce. The herb crusted potatoes was a nice touch to the normal mash potatoes.

Braised Somen with Coloso Crabmeat 4.2/5

This is my first time having Somen, a thin Japanese wheat noodles. I really enjoyed the lightness and texture of the noodles. The Braised Somen with Coloso Crabmeat ($28) in superior broth came with an abundance of seafood too. There were red snapper, scallop and prawns.

Six Sense Mushroom Soup

Maureen and Kai have the Six Sense Mushroom Soup ($18). The soup is a good showcase of Chef Daniel's east-meet-west concept. Herbs like Qian Shi, Huai Shan, Xiang Lian, Bai He, Yu Zhu and Dried Longan to give it a nice Asian twist. Crunchy Chinese Cabbage is used which served like croutons.

Kai ordered from the Best Cut Section that includes a salad and cake. The salad is prepared at table side. I understand the fresh greens were evenly tossed and tasty.

Angus Sirloin

The steak comes with red wine reduction sauce, roasted vegetables and mash potatoes served at the side. The Angus Sirloin (200g $40) itself was already very tender and beautiful.

Sashimi Grade Tuna

The beautiful pinkish Tuna Tataki like Sashimi Grade Tuna ($30) got the thumbs up approval from Jiayi and Rae. The tuna was slightly seared with cracked pepper and cumin and paired with green asparagus and white wine butter sauce.

Summer Grilled Snapper

Celes had the Summer Grilled Snapper ($32) which was grilled with aromatic herbs, accompanied with julienned vegetables, cherry tomato confit and braised garlic. Understand from her the sauce was a tad salty but compliment the fish very well. However she felt that they can be more generous with the sauce.
